#even though a PONTAFF STORY was able to have a character label his actions as abuse outright

[egg-emperor]

I still don't get how people even interpreted the Eggman memo as signs of him being neglected and abused as a child when it didn't even actually imply that even a little. Flynn shouldn't have even needed to say that he's a biased unreliable narrator because the line really sounded like Eggman being bratty, self-centered, and entitled as ever.

I wish people would focus on what's actually there with how he's careless towards Maria's reasons for getting so much love and attention, for her illness and sweet soul and how she died so young and tragically, and how he still holds onto that jealousy because of his selfish entitlement to all the attention because that's great and in character for him.

but everyone wants him to have a sad tragic back story where he was neglected or abused so bad for some reason Ig
